Commuters were outraged as the delays have taken place consecutively over recent days. On 29 August (Sunday), Train services along the Circle Line were affected by intermittent signalling issues and problems persisted till the end of service that day. Just yesterday (30 August), Circle line experienced similar problems with intermittent signalling issues.
As usual, the time of delay announced by the train operator is different from the actual waiting time that commuters experience on the ground.
